Hi - my boiler is leaking and needs a new manifold price quoted £531 which I thought was high.  It is an old boiler so thinking about getting a new one on interest free credit.  The only ones i know of is British Gas or Tower Heating - anyone have experience of these?  Or recommend anyone I am in the North West. thanks Steve

    Boxt, Heatable, Eon, and others all offer interest free credit. You'd probably be looking at around £2400 from most of them unless you go for a budget boiler.
    I'd also suggest contacting Octopus and asking about a heat pump - I had a quote of £2700 which included new radiators, hot water cylinder, and some plumbing work (all subject to a survey). If that had been available last year when I had a new boiler, I would certainly have considered a heat pump. And with the rules on insulation upgrades being relaxed, I think I would have gone with Octopus.
    Her courage will change the world.

    Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.

    Don’t rule out money purchase interest free credit cards that may come with a small transfer fee such as 3% etc.
    It may be financially beneficial depending on how many months you would like to pay the money over, especially if a local installer is significantly cheaper than the interest free offer from the installers mentioned above.
